Suspect described as jealous boyfriend

Police who responded to a homicide call early Sunday at the
Jantzen Beach Moorage on Hayden Island found a 56-year-old
man dead on the floor and the alleged killer passed out on
the bed beside him.

Kyle David Graham, 29, who was arraigned on a murder charge
Monday, was described by his girlfriend in court documents
as an extremely possessive, controlling and jealous
boyfriend who would fly into a rage if he thought she was
interested in another man.

Graham's girlfriend had been living with the victim,
Harlan Reep, in his floating home in the 1600 block of North
Jantzen Avenue. Graham had been staying with them for about
a week.

The girlfriend told investigators she heard Graham screaming
early Sunday and found him kicking Reep.

She said Reep was covered in blood, his face destroyed. She
yelled at Graham to stop and tried to pull him off Reep but
she said Graham continued to strike him, a probable cause
affidavit says. At one point, Graham jumped on top of Reep,
his arm across Reep's neck and his knee in Reep's
side, the girlfriend told police.

Graham left the room and she went to check if Reep had a
pulse and found him dead, court documents say.

The girlfriend said she tried to get Graham to call police
but he just yelled at her. Eventually, Graham fell asleep on
the bed, and the girlfriend sneaked out of the house and
called 9-1-1 on Reep's cell phone.

According to the autopsy, Reep died of blood loss from
multiple stab wounds to the face and blunt force trauma to
his head. Police found a kitchen knife lying in a pool of
blood under the victim's body.

Graham also faces a fugitive warrant from the Washington
Department of Corrections.

Graham on Monday pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. He is set to return to court on April 29....
